A newly issued bond pays its coupons once a year. Its coupon rate is 5.8%, its maturity is 15 years, and its yield to maturity is 8.8%. a. Find the holding-period return for a one-year investment period if the bond is selling at a yield to maturity of 7.8% by the end of the year (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. If you sell the bond after one year when its yield is 7.8%, what taxes will you owe if the tax rate on interest income is 40% and the tax rate on capital gains income is 30%? The bond is subject to original-issue discount (OID) tax treatment (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
c. What is the after-tax holding-period return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
d. Find the realized compound yield before taxes for a two-year holding period, assuming that:
(i) you sell the bond after two years,
(ii) the bond yield is 7.8% at the end of the second year, and
(iii) the coupon can be reinvested for one year at a 3.8% interest rate.
(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Realized compound yield before taxes %

Lo.2, 3, 9 lori, who is single, purchased 5-years class property for $200,00 and 7-years class property for $420,000 on may 20, 2018. lori experts the taxable income derived form the business (without regard to the amount expensed under ⧠179) to be about $550,000. lori has determined that she should elect immediate ⧠179 expensing in the amount of $520,000, but she doesn’t know which asset she should completely expense under ⧠179. she does not claim any available additional first-year depreciation. a. determine lori’s total cost recovery deduction if the ⧠179 expense is first taken with respect to the 5-year class asset. b. determine lori’s total cost recovery deduction if the ⧠179 expense is first taken with respect to the 7-year class asset. c. what is your advice for lori? d. assume that lori is in the 24% marginal tax bracket and that she uses ⧠179 on the 7-year asset. determine the present value of the tax savings from the depreciation deductions for both assets. see appendix g for present value factors, and assume a 6% discount rate. e. assume the same facts as in part (d), except that lori decides not to use ⧠179 on either asset. determine the present value of the tax savings under this choice. in addition, determine which option lori should choose. f. present your solution to parts (d) and (e) of the problem in a spreadsheet using appropriate microsoft excel formulas. e-mail your spreadsheet to your instructor with a two-paragraph summary of your findings.
